Ok im here to write a quick Tutorial for those of you that have the new Action Replay DSI can now edit Pokemon events items etc from pokesav by loading your games sav file! Does not require.NET Framework 3.5 has been tested Under 3.5 .NET FrameWorks i apologize for any confusion Step 1: backup your sav file using action replay dsi and copy it to your computer Step 2: download this sav file converter http://projectpokemon.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3917&d=1269701955 Step 3: Drag your .duc sav file onto ARDStoSAV.exe Step 4:Load your .sav file that was created from the converter into Pokesav. Note: the created sav file will be located in C: \ the main hard drive that your computer uses! Step 5: after saving changes in Pokesav drag the edited .sav onto ARDStoSAV.exe and then just put the .duc file back onto your action replay and restore the save file and enjoy [Edit by evandixon] To clear a bit of confusion, this will NOT back up saves for HeartGold/SoulSilver/Black/White. If you want to do that with an Action Replay, you must look here: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?16601-How-to-Backup-Restore-your-retail-cartridge-save-file-(D-P-Pt-HG-SS-B-W-Nearly-any-other-DS-game) [Edit again by evandixon] With Megaupload shut down for piracy, legitimate files are gone as well. After a bit of digging in the forum, I found the original link for this program. http://projectpokemon.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3917&d=1269701955

Can I change a trainer name of a save file of ruby, sapphire, leaf green, fire red, emerald? I just want to catch pokemon and have them with different OT. I don't need some pokesav for it, even hex edit will do. I just don't know where it is

PokeGen is now maintained by Mat. Current version: 3.1.13 <-- THIS IS A LINK, SINCE PEOPLE DON'T GET IT Be sure to always keep backups of your save files prior to editing. I'm not perfect, mistakes can exist in the program still. This program can be used for Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 for the following tasks: Generating Action Replay codes to create Pokemon, modify the Pokedex, and add Mystery Gift data, including exporting to an XML file that can be dragged to the Action Replay code manager Loading and saving of save files. Pokemon data and Pokedex data can be fully modified. Loading and saving of party and PC .pkm files (136, 220, and 236 byte, encrypted and unencrypted) Adding Wonder Cards to save files Conversion of Action Replay codes into Pokemon information (This is limited.) Finding a PID to match IVs, nature, gender, ability, shininess, and hidden power type/power - with variable IVs Recalculating save file checksums Editing items Editing C-Gear background images Most of what you need to know to use the program is self-explanatory. However, there are now tooltips explaining just about everything in it. There are some things that aren't quite covered though: Windows XP or newer is required. (However, it does run without issues on "emulated" Windows programs for Mac OS and Linux.) (This is only applicable to generation 4 games, and maybe not even HG/SS.) Using codes for party Pokemon can sometimes cause bad eggs upon activating the code. You can just activate it again and it should fix the problem. (You can check the summary after activating each time to see if it's fixed, or just close the party display and re-open it.) I don't think there's any way around this. As far as I know, this has no negative effect on the game when you save, as long as you don't save it with a bad egg. (I'm not even sure if saving with a bad egg would be harmful, but there's no reason to do so.) Pokemon can be dragged around amongst party/box slots. .pkm files can be dragged into and from party/box slots. You can associate compatible files (save files, .pkm files, etc) with PokeGen to be able to easily load them from Explorer windows. Holding alt and clicking a Pokemon icon will display that Pokemon's information instead of requiring you to right click and "View data". Holding shift + alt and clicking a Pokemon icon will set the slot's data with the tab's data. Obviously this is equivalent to right clicking and selecting "Set". If you don't want to receive updates to certain languages, delete the corresponding language file. If you can't figure out how to do something, read the tooltips. For those that don't know, tooltips are an informative message that gets displayed when you stop your mouse pointer over a control (editbox, dropdown box, button, etc) for a short period of time. There's also the questions and answers thread that's being updated occasionally. Note the date on posts in this thread if you're reading through it. There were many changes to the program since its initial release, including a rename, removal of generation 3 support, and other major redesigns. Also, this thread used to be the only way to post feedback/bugs for the program, prior to a forum section being made. That's why it has tons of posts when it's a locked thread.

Hi just a quick question how do i make a pokemon from scratch and make it 100% legal to work on wi-fi on pbr i made a new team i used pid iv generator all shiny pid's and i put in the hidden hex values on top of that but once i use them on pbr on wi-fi it tells me that some of the pokemon cant be used on the pass so i would appreciate any help and it only happends wen i search for random battles if i battle a friend it ignores to check if they are hacked or not Thanks

Bought my Nintendo R4DSI and use to edit my data with pokesav platinum. Everything was right until the moment but when I loaded my game, my data does not, I have to commence the game again, I have try several times and always passes the same. We would appreciate your help.

Hi I've been using pokesav for a while and i must say its great. I've run into some trouble unfortunately. So im trying to make roaming legendaries in both diamond and platinum and for some reason it doesn't work in either version. i make the codes, upload them to my ARDS and press L+R in game but my pokemon doesn't show up on my Marking map App (i am switching back and forth through Apps and still nothing) I have both pokesavs D/P Pt, they are up to date and have been working fine except for this one occasion. Any technical advice would be helpful. Thanks, TGF ---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ---------- I found the problem. no help is necessary. TGF

I have the Action Replay for the DSi and when I add the AR codes from Pokesav to my AR codelist using the Code Manager it says the codes were added. When I disconnect my AR from my computer, insert it my DSi, and power it on, the code's name will appear in the codelist but the actual code will be blank. I know for a fact that the AR DSi uses the exact same codes as the AR DS so that's not the issues. I've used AR DS codes many times and they've worked fine. P.S. Does anyone have a working code for checking your Secret ID on U.S. Platinum Version?

My brother and I recently decided to create completely new teams to battle each other with in diamond/pearl. So instead of spending two weeks training pokemon we will use once or twice, the easier option seemed to be to use some kind of Gameshark-like device. So, we located an Action Replay and downloaded Pokesav to create pokemon teams but we're not sure what the parameters are exactly of the program. Usually, I'm against cheating but in this case, we will only be battling each other and not affecting anyone else. My question: what exactly will the Acton Replay code change in the game? All I did start up the program and change the first pokemon in the party and saved it as a test. Now when I put that code onto the Action Replayl and use the pearl code, will that change only my first pokemon? I don't want all of my save data to be suddenly erased. Note: I plan to manually put the code onto the action replay by typing it in because I do not have the software or the hookups for the action replay.

Hi ! I have a problem with pokesav HG SS too. I can't access to the "events" > "edit" page in the main page of the program. Why ? Thanks ! ___________________ Salut ! J'ai également un soucis avec Pokesav HG SS, la partie "events" > "edit" sur la page principale est grisée. Je n'ai pas accès à cette fonctionalitée. pourquoi ? que faire ? Merci !

When i try to use my pokesav it only asks me what to open the file with. This happens with regular and compact version. Do i need to download any files to use pokesav?:confused: If so can you post a url to dowload any required files? I'm kinda new.:\

i just downloaded pokesav for diamond version. i just want to know how i can create my own pokemon with thier own stats. can anyone help?

First, the event pichu "Notched Ear" will revert to a NORMAL PICHU. What happened? Just using pokesav it reverted. What makes it any different then a normal pichu? (coding wise) Any hex stuff?:bidoof: <lololol

I had a whole long introduction typed up, but I don't want to bore you. Long story short, if any kind soul could help me out by making this team I'd really appreciate it. I always worried about legit vs. hacked etc. etc. and trash bytes, hex codes, checksums...I spent more time worrying than enjoying the game. So could any experienced Pokesav user help me make this team so that it is legal and passes most common hack checks? I will NEVER trade these Pokemon and I will never go to a Nintendo tournament, so hack checks aren't really a problem, but it's still nice to know the team you're using could pass a few hack checks, you know? Cheers to anyone up to the task and thanks for your time! :: Please make the Trainer ID and Secret ID the same for all of them except Suicune :: I am assuming "battle stats" are the Pokemons stats after adding nature, IVs, and EVs? :: If the Suicune is too hard to make legal due to location met issues just skip it :: I don't have AR or a flash cart, so please trade me over WiFi if you can :: FC: 0474 8239 3119

Hi, i have the 03.a or the newest version of pokesav of HGSS but i can not edit the events, i have read in another thread that only one version which has that option is the oldest or the normal but in the downloas site of the pokesav section i can't find it, if i click the normal button to downloas is the 03.a, so i don't know i f anyone has it, that can share it to me, please. Sorry for my english, i'm sure that i made some mistakes. thanks for understand! ... and help!

Hi. I downloaded some .PKMN files and used Pokesav Platinum to make AR codes, for use in Pokemon Platinum. The codes added in a few event Pokes to the first slots in my Box 1. When I start the game I press L+R and look in my box, and they're all there, but there's also a bunch "ghost eggs" that can't be clicked on and disappear when I switch boxes. When I try to save the game, it says "save error" Any help is MUCHO appreciated.

I have a problem with wondercards on platinum pokesav whenever i download a WC and load it on pokesav it changes the accent e in pokemon to an l, how do I fix it?

Basically whenever I sav a pokemon for HG it alway gets boosted exp despite having same ID, secret ID etc. I believe this is to do with the size of writing. When you enter your OT in pokesav it appears in game same size as English version writing. However the English version writing is smaller than the English text used in Japanese games causing this problem as the Japanese games use a larger font size. You'll notice this if you flick between an in-game caught pokemon and a pokesav generated one. Does anyone know how to get the Japanese sized English language generated by Pokesav? Many Thanks.

Alright, I just started using pokesav and I've got a few questions. 1) How do i make a pokemon look like it came from an egg? Would i just set the egg hatched data normally and set the level it was met at to 1? 2) What do I fill in for hidden hex values? I've looked everywhere and couldn't find anything on these.

i am making my old buddy from gold. She is an arcanine. i wish to know how to use the hidden value (hex) to be able to have my arcanine have a hidden power (grass). All i need is what to type and where to put it. i also need a good secret ID. thank you. i am using POKESAV ver.0.38b thank you

So i was using the pokesav,so i save blah blah i turn on my ds and go to the PC to move my pokemon and i see Question marks on empty slots and when i go see my party the game freezes and the music keeps playing O-O idk what happened can anyone help please....

Hi guys i just recently joined here and was trying to use the pokesave file, but i seem to be having issues trying to find the event tab so i can add the wonder files as well when i tried to edit my pokeball qunaitites and used the save file they remain the same in game Any idea? Thanks

Hey guys! This is my first post on this forum, so bare with me here =P. The other night I went and downloaded Pokesav for Heart Gold and Soul Silver to conjure up some Pokemon for when the games eventually come out in the United States. I've gotten pretty good at Pokesav over the past few months, but I'm still somewhat confused over creating Pokemon for HG/SS, mostly because having to edit Hex values to get the proper "location met". My goal is to have these Pokemon appear as if I obtained an egg in Platinum, then traded it over to Soul Silver, and then hatched that egg in New Bark Town. Here is a screen cap of what I have. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb314/JimmyPv4/Pokesav.jpg (Yes, I know date met is way wrong, I'm waiting to change it the HG/SS U.S. release date) As for the 86h value, was I right in setting to "04", or should I leave it at "00" since I'm just hatching it on HG/SS? I think I did it okay, overall, but I just want to be sure so I figured this would be the best place to ask. Thanks a ton in advance!

I want to make PKMN for my Japanese Soul Silver game, but I am not sure of what order the hex values need to be set for them. I want to know what the hex value set up and order for a PKMN I breed from an egg in SS looks like when making it in Pokesav so I can make it correctly and look legit. I want to make a few PKMN to use and I want them to look like I bread them in my SS game. So I need to know what hex values to use for it to look like the egg was received from the Daycare Couple, hatched somewhere in Kanto or Johto, and look legit. If someone can show me a picture of a HG/SS Pokesav party PKMN edit screen fully filled out for an example that would be awesome and I would appreciate it. If I confused anyone and they don't understand, please message me back and I can clarify. Thanks.

EDIT: PLEASE CLOSE. Sorry, didn't read rules ahead of time *hangs head* Alright, so my friend got a 2 month head-start on me on Platinum, seeing as I just got it a week ago. So I decided to get myself a team of Competitive Battling - Ready level 50s which include Togekiss, Garchomp, Luxray, Roserade (Thinking I want to replace this one, lol.), Infernape, Milotic, and Luxray (Omg ... Luxxy is amazing Fav. Poke). ANYWAYS! It took a few tries, but eventually I made it work(Some of the additional item options and such that I tried to include in the AR Code were causing the game to freeze. I can't remember which one exactly. I think it was the location option, which I tried in a seperate code alone and it failed, it was the Pokemon League). But finally I got them uploaded. The problem is, I'm nervous he is going to check the Pokedex or something. I battle with them, tried depositing and withdrawing them, leveled them, Hall of Famed, everything! I just CANNOT get them in my Pokedex. Seen orcaught! Any help? Thanks P.S. - I'm really wanting to learn more about PokeSAV and help not only myself out, but the community as well with their wants. Any experienced SAVers out there who might mentor me in a way? I understand the general program but not everything. I'm just self-learning about Hexi at the moment. We could talk over an IM or something, get back to me if interested. Thanks!
